Uncontested Divorce vs. Contested Divorce

Uncontested Divorce vs. Contested Divorce

K. Dean Kantaras, P.A.

When two people no longer want to remain married, there are a number of
issues which must be agreed upon before the divorce can be finalized.
This is the part of the process most people dread, for it is notorious
for being a difficult, expensive, and lengthy experience. However, not
all divorces need to be a battle between two people determined to hurt
each other. When both parties agree on a number of issues in the marriage,
this is known as an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce means
you can avoid the court process to a certain degree, as there is no need
for excessive disagreements which need to be resolved with the decision-making
of a judge.

Uncontested divorce means both parties agree on how to resolve the most
important issues in a marriage, including child custody, support, visitation,
alimony, property division, the allocation of debts, and more. Uncontested
divorce is often easier between couples who do not share any children,
businesses, or property, though it is doable in every situation.

A contested divorce is quite the opposite, in which the divorcing parties
need help in moving the process along, which is why it is necessary to
involve the courts. This is because there are one or more issues of contention
between the couple, issues which cannot be resolved with ease.
